People that prefer exploring, taking photos, seeing shows and people-watching over partying are not as unusual as you think….I for one am one of them and know quite a few more, but of course, none of these people live in Chicago, which really doesn’t help you… How’s the new Tea House??? Maybe you can meet some random people there!?! Anyway, I soooo want to walk down the street you live on…sounds wonderful…just not in the freezing cold.

“…where I’d find people who aren’t so jaded and settled in their city lives to share a little enthusiasm for ‘the little things’ that still amuse and gratify and perplex me daily about living here. And no, Craigslist is not an option.”

Not that I would know, but you sound a bit overwhelmed, overfed, or just desensitized by your new surroundings. When we move somewhere, it’s at first amazing and novel, and we do this weird “let me seek out EVERYTHING and assimilate it into my coolness” walkabout.

And then the city becomes another Gainesville.

Maybe you need a sensory fast. And a girlfriend.

And seriously, a better bed. Ikea makes them too.
